A MILLION A YEAR.
Che Rate at Which the Population of Il
 United States Is Growing.

Che Rate at Which the Population of the
 United States Is Growing.
 In round numbers the population of the United States increases at the rate of one million year. The census of 1880 showed a population of over 50,00O, ,O00 and &ose estimates based on local censuses give in 1886 56,0OO, GOO. Of this increase about one-third is from abroad. Two natives reach the stage of action for one foreign born res dent. The ratio of native increase must in the future be greater, a1 the native element is constantly growing larger while the fore gu is about stationary The immi- grat.on for 1885 was little larger than that of 1884 and 1SS6 promises to ex- cecd the last; but both years show de- crease on several prec ding years. Many thoughtful persons are apprehen- sive of future trouble through this rapid increase of population, so largely drawn from foreign sources. The spectacle Of from 300. 900 to 400, GOO foreigners be ng absorbed annually into our industrial force is one. they thInk, which can not he continued without in time producing q serious disturbance. It should be borne in mind that when a foreigner comes to this country and becomes a part of its laboring force, he becomes also part of its consuming force. In manvcases he does work in this country which in his absence would be done in Europe. Until the population ap- proa hes the limit of our producing capacity, the foreigner may as well work here as in Europe We now ex- port grain and meats which are con- sumed in Europe, and the product ot the consumers labor is sent to us. When the laborer comes over and works in this country, he consumes more of our agricultural product than when he is in Europe and he only adls to the consuming force. In time the foreign Imm grafton will decrease in actual numbers, as it is already decreasing relatively The number of born Ameri- cans is every year larger, and will in- crease for years; but the inducements for foreigners to come here will grow less and less. The immigration ques- ton is therefore largely one of the im- aoinahon, so long as it is confined to the Caucas an race. The politicians who are disturbed over it live a quarter of a century too lac. This country has passed successfully through the danger they now think they see in the future. Whatever peril there may have been in that question when the Nation was young and the native populat on small has now passed away.-SaH Francisco CGE.

DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
A Number of Persons Killed and Wounded

A Number of Persons Killed and Wounded.
BosToN. March 14.-An accident this
morning occurred on the Dedham branch
of the Boston and Providence railroad
between Foresthill and ROslindale at
what is known as the Bussey Park bridge.
The o'clock train from Dedham, con
sisting of seven cars and a baggage car,
under the charge Of Conductor Tilden,
broke through the bridge. The engine
and three cars went over safely, but the
five Others fell through the bridge to the
road beneath, a distance of thirty feet
The last car, which was the smoker, turn
ed completely over and struck on top OF
the others, all being crushed almost out
OF shape. The cause of the accident is
said to have been the breaking OF the
bridge.
1t is stated that the bridge where the
accident occurred this morning is com
parativelv new one, and that the accl-
dent was caused by the truck on one OF
the cars giving way, causing the car 10
strike against an abutment Of the bridge.
The smoking car, after it fell, caught
fire. but the fire department was prompt.
ly on baud and prevented any spread OF
the flames. The bodies of the dead have
all been removed, and of the wounded
some are at the hospital and some have
been taken home, so that it is very dill
cult to ascertain their names and the eX-
tent of their injuries AT the present tine
LATER.
The list of the dead so far as ascertain
ed is as follows: Lizzie Walton, aged IL
wears, of Dedham; Myron Tilden, con-
ductor. Lizzie Vaudeville, of Dedham
NJ. TAYLOR, policeman of Station 10;
Mrs. Ellis, of West Roxbury, Ida Adams,
aged 16 wears, of West ROslindale; Ellis

years. of Rosindale; w Webster Clapp,
of West Roxbury; William +. Snow, and
Mrs. Kennard, Of West Roxbury; Frank
Nichols, of Dedham; II. Humphrey, OF
Dedham.
An inspection of the wreck reveals the
fact that the eight cars comprising the
train are jumbled into a complete wreck
not one Of the coaches escaping almost
perfect demolition From the loca,
tion of the wrecked cars ii would
seem that the first three cars
passed over the bridge safely. The
structure evidently gave way when
the fourth car was passing over it. The
five rear ears went through to the road
way. landing in a mass of splinters in the
street. The strain of the five falling cars
pulled the three coaches in advance from
the rails. They remained on top of the
embankment, but were pulled of thell
trucks and the floor of each was forced
nearly to the roof, while the seats were
/ iumbled together in great confusion.
The end of the second coach was
mass of splinters, caused by the car ahea'
grinding against it when the others wen
down the embankment. The third coacl
was hattened to the ground as if 1t haC
fallen on It's trucks from great height
although il remained on the edge OF th'
embankment.
